Scott's Three-Step Approach

Define your destination with clarity: Even if you can't map out your entire life path, work on identifying clear short-term goals to guide your daily actions.

Match your daily activity with your goals: Ensure your everyday actions align with what you say you want to achieve – this alignment naturally leads to greater fulfillment.

Accept that change is inevitable: Recognize that you'll eventually make changes when you wear yourself out completely, so why not skip the suffering and make those changes today?
